Abstract
A processing apparatus externally receives a processing request and executes the requested processing. The processing apparatus transmits the result of the processing to a processing request source if a connection to the processing request source is maintained until the requested processing is executed. The processing apparatus stores the result of executing the processing in a memory if the connection to the processing request source is disconnected before the end of the requested processing. The processing apparatus transmits the processing result stored in the memory to the processing request source if the processing requested when the processing request is received is executed but is stored in the memory.
Claims19
A processing method executed by a processing apparatus including a processor, the method comprising:
- externally receiving a processing request;
- executing the requested processing by the processor;
- transmitting a result of executing the processing to a processing request source if a connection to the processing request source is maintained until the execution of the requested processing;
- storing the result of executing the processing in a memory if the connection to the processing request source is disconnected before an end of the requested processing;
- and
- transmitting the processing result stored in the memory to the processing request source if the result of executing the processing requested is stored in the memory when the processing request is received.
A processing apparatus comprising:
- a communication unit;
- and
- a processing unit that executes processing requested by a processing request received by the communication unit, storing the result of executing the processing in a memory if a connection to a processing request source is disconnected before an end of the processing, and transmitting the result of executing the processing to the processing request source by the communication unit if the connection to the processing request source is maintained until the end of the processing,
- wherein if the result of executing the processing requested by the processing request received by the communication unit is stored in the memory, the processing unit transmits the processing result stored in the memory to the processing request source by the communication unit.
A storage medium storing a computer program, the computer program causing a computer to execute:
- externally receiving a processing request;
- executing the requested processing;
- transmitting a result of executing the processing to a processing request source if a connection to the processing request source is maintained until the execution of the requested processing;
- storing the result of executing the processing in a memory if the connection to the processing request source is disconnected before an end of the requested processing;
- and
- transmitting the processing result stored in the memory to the processing request source if the result of executing the processing requested is stored in the memory when the processing request is received.
